- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Two Israeli soldiers were killed and four others were seriously wounded in an explosion in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon. This marks the first Israeli deaths since a truce between Israel and Hezbollah began in June. An Israeli military official stated that the nature of the explosive is under review. In response to what it described as a violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, the Israeli army launched strikes in southern Lebanon and issued a warning for residents of the village of Mansouri to flee. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that one person was killed and 12 were wounded in an Israeli strike in the town of Tebnine, while the National News Agency reported additional injuries in Burj al-Shemali. These military actions occurred while Lebanese and Israeli negotiators were meeting in Rome to discuss a US brokered peace process. The talks focused on the implementation of pilot zones where Israeli forces would withdraw to allow the Lebanese army to take control in exchange for Hezbollah disarmament. Wednesday's talks ended early due to the escalation on the ground. Center left sources framed the event as a sign of the fragility of the peace process, while center sources focused on the specific casualty counts and the breach of the truce.
